Q&A

Most Notable Projects

How do you maintain strong relationships with the design team?

Firstly – I acknowledge and respect that different clients have different expectations. Architects will tend to push the engineering envelope which I welcome as it challenges my design approach. I put myself in the client’s shoes and visualise the requirements from their perspective, that way I ensure it’s cost effective, sustainable and it’s driven by passion.

What’s your opinion on the future of construction?

The big thing that will change is the ability for engineers to design really interesting, out of the box structures. With the application of 3D modelling, we can visualise the designs and work out a way to devise a structural scheme.

As a leader at TTW, what advice do you give your staff?

I’m in my fourth generation of mentorship, which is an element of my job I really love. It’s a privilege to pass on knowledge and experience, guiding young engineers and draftsmen to excel. One big piece of advice is: don’t innovate for the sake of being different, explore new materials and methodologies because it is beneficial to the project at hand.
